About Donna Derrien

This is my second vacation rental in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, BC. After the success of my first, VRBO #508683 I had to do it again. This property is in its second year and proving to be very popular.

I so love introducing people to our little slice of paradise, the Comox Valley. From outdoor activities to arts and culture, the Comox Valley has it all.

Donna Derrien purchased this cottage in 1999

Why Donna Derrien chose Courtenay

This property, with beautiful ocean views, has a unique location adjacent to the beach, a bird sanctuary, creek, walking trails, and several kilometers of sandy beach at low tide. The fenced back yard boasts several areas for relaxing, playing and socializing. Across the street you can access the nature trails and Courtenay Riverside Walkway. This property is ideal for those who want to be close to nature and yet have all amenities nearby, who like to be active outdoors and yet have a private place to relax indoors or out. Or for someone who wants to avoid renting a car. Bikes are included!.

What makes this cottage unique

Very easy access to both parks, restaurants and shopping. Wildlife refuge, spectacular ocean views in a private setting.

Notes:

Fenced backyard, private garden areas, wonderful views and access to walking/cycling trails right across the street.

Ocean views all day long!

Huge windows in a fully equipped and clean house with lots of space in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to nature walking paths! Add to that a huge fenced back yard and all we can say is thank you Donna for sharing your beautiful home!

Small Family Birthday Party

Beautiful view property in a quiet neighbourhood. Sleeps 4 adults and 2 kids (in bunks). we didn't use hide-a-bed so could be more. Comfy couches to lounge and visit. Kitchen just right for dinner party. Lots of walking trails (and bikes available).

Outdoor space for BBQ etc looks inviting both at deck level and front and back yards (a little too cool April weekend). Interesting river/ocean delta area with view point and info re eco system.

Fantastic!

This was our first trip to Courtenay and the Comox Valley and we couldn't have chosen a better experience. The cottage location is excellent: lots of opportunity to get out and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We really appreciated having access to bikes and being close to a bike trail. We can't say enough about the cottage: it is the best-appointed accommodation we've had (and we've had a lot). You'll want for nothing in the kitchen, from cookware to appliances. We plan to visit again.

Wonderful spot for a getaway

We came up island for our anniversary and a little getaway before the craziness of the holidays. We loved staying at Donna's place in Courtenay. The home is so peaceful, cozy, and well cared for in an amazing location. We were able to look out the windows at the bay and catch the sunrise. The place is so well stocked. From every kitchen tool you might need to books, games and equipment for outdoor activities there's so much available. Plus right across the street is the trail head for the Millard Creek trail which you can follow all the way into town. Donna was a delight to work with and we will be returning.
